How to re-root OnePlus One on OxygenOS

OnePlus One has recently received the OxygenOS via downloadable file rather than over-the-air (OTA) update, which requires the user to sideload and flash the firmware manually onto their handset.

Consequently, several users who installed this update have reportedly lost root access on the handset as the firmware is not pre-rooted.

Besides, the Lollipop update brings a lot of changes over the KitKat operating system, which renders the KitKat compatible SuperSU unusable.

It is ascertained that users have been facing issues with the automatic SuperSU update via Google Play Store, as the app prompts an update which is incompatible with Lollipop firmware and hence it throws an error message stating "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install".

Hence, it is imperative to download and flash the latest version of SuperSU (v2.48 Beta) to overcome this problem.

Interested users can go ahead and root their OnePlus One on OxygenOS, using the step-by-step guide posted below.
